Toshiba R500 Laptop Bios supervisor password
January 16th, 2014
I have a solution, I´ve managed to Install Backtrack 5 : do this: Remove HDD. Insert BT5 DVD. boot: Will display this message: buit in HDD error. In this moment, plugin the HDD. Then it boots from CD, After BT5 loads press “INSTALL BT5”. Youre done. No other OS will load, W7 will display no HDD partition. only BT5 works.
QUESTION: How can I manage boot or bypass “supervisor password? The Bios is ACPI BIOS Version 1.5.
Thanks.
Try the following:
1. Disconnect the power cord.
2. Remove the battery.
3. Remove the CMOS (RTC) battery and leave it out for at least 10 mins.
4. Put the CMOS battery & Battery back in,Re-connect the power cord and power up.
5. Enter BIOS and load defaults.
If unsure howto remove the batteries,Refer to this manual:

Im not noob, the battery is dead already, the problem is the EEPROM and the damn EasyGuard soft. Thanks anyway for the fast reply.
